2018 Miami Open

[SeeingDusk]

The tournament will begin on March 19th, and end on April 1st.

Draw:

****IF A MOD SEES THIS, PLEASE DELETE THIEM FROM THE POLL AND REPLACE HIM WITH DIMITROV ~~ THANKS!****

Who will win this one? Will Fed redeem himself for his IW loss or will someone new surprise us this time around?

Oops, forgot to add Dimitrov, but can't edit the poll anymore.

 

[EloQuent]

Rooting for a Fed/Delpo rematch but I bet they get seeded to hit in QF or something.

 

[I Am Finnish]

Fedr

Remove thiem from the poll

 

[SeeingDusk]

Remove thiem from the poll

Don't see an edit option. Can a mod change that?

 

[EloQuent]

Is Goffin playing? His eye better?

 

[SeeingDusk]

Is Goffin playing? His eye better?

Yup, he tweeted that he will be playing.

 

[dgold44]

Cilic will win !!!!

No way Del Po can win back to back and Federer will probably reach the Finals

 

[Rafa.the.Magnificent]

I voted Delpo but think perhaps Djokovic might do very much better than he did at IW. Just a thought.

 

[dgold44]

Miami should be a 250 event and nobody cares about it.
Compared to IW and Cincy- its a distant THIRD

 

[dgold44]

Federer is still the best on the planet then NADAL then Del Po then Cilic

 

[I Am Finnish]

I believe so

The draw is at monday 2 pm local time

Djokovic shouldn't be playing, he should be recovering from surgery. He's just going to hurt himself.

 

[jaggy]

Sadly no Murray but it can still be a good tourney.

 

[SeeingDusk]

He’s excited to be back.

Yup. Miami sucks because they don't have their act together (location, anyone???), but don't they offer the same $$ and points? I'm not on top of this stuff.

Djoker has lost muscle mass since turning to vegan

 

[dgold44]

Miami is kind of a dump compared to IW and Cincy ( the tourney).
They should have a new MASTER Grass event in Germany ( since Germany is the most powerful European nation)

they should delete Miami, Rogers cup ( which nobody cares about), Paris carpet and Shanghai( which nobody cares about).

 

[dgold44]

Way too many events and most folks don't care about them.
We like the Slams and only few other stuff.

 

[dgold44]

Remove thiem from the poll

Remove Raonic too !!! Rainmanic is totally the most unwatchable player since Isner

Hey, hey, hey!! I'm Canadian! (Yes, I get that much of the rest of the world doesn't care about Rogers Cup, but let's keep the door open for potential top 10'ers, Shapo and FAA!)

Having said that, objectively, Germany deserves a major tourney.

 

[dgold44]

Then move the stupid Paris or Madrid tourney to Germany and have a super nice Grass masters . Not my call , through.

It's a big tournament here. Tons of people here from all over the world. Amazing event. Also, the players love it. To not have a major tennis tournament in Florida would be a complete fail for US tennis.

 

[NaomiKonjuhPotapova]

Cilic will win !!!!

Love the enthusiasm but sadly Cilic result has been nada since AO.

Nadl..... oh wait....

Anyone who thinks Thiem will win is holding their own pole

Thiem isn't playing.

Would be interesting to see Federer here. His chances were way better in IW.

Hope he gets a manageable draw for the first three rounds at least.

And Ljubicic should be around. Hopefully, that helps!

 

[Pagoo]

FAA was up a break in the third but couldn't hold on. Out of Miami.

Well yes and he almost won it.It depends on the draw - he can do final at Miami or he can leaver early if he is emotionally drained

The only question was where Del Potro would land

 

[StrongerThanAll]

are the top 2 QF's a half and the bottom 2 another half?

Yep!

 

[StrongerThanAll]

Yep!

Thank you! as a Fed fan the bottom half has the players I wanted away from Fed, nice.

 

[Deleted member 512391]

I want Djokovic in Federer's draw section, he owes him two encounters while being out of form - a repay for 2013.

This looks easy.And I dont think he will play Zverev.Zverev will probably lose in the 4th Round

 

[Pagoo]

The Armada to stop Federer from getting to the QF?

Hmm, we have to wait and see.

 

[Pagoo]

Juan Martin Del Potro will play Yuichi Sugita or Robin Haase. Possible R3 match with Nishikori
